I am fish

Yao Maolin turned his mind around for a long time, and finally drew up a draft of how to talk about life with General Zhen, but when he looked back, where was the general?He hurriedly searched among the crowd, but saw that the lotus green had gradually drifted away, and walked into Yijing Garden with a group of female officials.

The royal seat is set up at the Guilan Banquet, and the lower seat and the east and west are divided into two banquets.The silk and bamboo orchestra lives in the south corner, and there is no shortage of qin, se, zither, and harp percussion.Because of the presence of the emperor, 24 tigers and ben stood by the side, adding a bit of solemnity.

The dining pavilion and wine pavilion are filled with wine, meat and delicacies, and all the officials are feasting with drums and music.After the young emperor took his seat with the empress, the whip sounded, and the newly enlightened little prince sat alone on the east side under the guidance of the internal officials.The officials kneeled three times and kowtowed nine times, the internal officials poured flowers into the holy majesty, and the osmanthus banquet really started after the opening of the nobles and pouring wine.

The banquet continued with singing and dancing, as well as kowtowing and toasting to the emperor.The rules of the Guilan Banquet are extremely cumbersome, requiring nine bows and nine toasts.The fine nectar and jade liquid entered the throat, and even the light apple wine made people dizzy enough. Yao Maolin almost buckled his head when he saluted for the last time and failed to get up.

After finally holding up his spirit and raising his head, the emperor specially gave wine to the four newcomers who were top-ranked this year.After the four of them kowtowed one by one and praised the great majesty of Dayuhe Qinghaiyan, the soup and water main meal was served.The ministers, who were already hungry, starved all night, and their eyes began to glow green when they saw something that could fill their stomachs.

The Son of Heaven is young but has been physically weak all year round. In the beginning of spring, he accidentally suffered from a cold, and he has not improved until now.After the officials toasted, he coughed again and again without moving a few chopsticks, and took the queen back to the palace early, leaving the rest of the officials to chat on their own.

Yao Maolin had no capacity for alcohol, he didn't expect to have a full stomach of wine before eating at this big banquet, drinking on an empty stomach would not make him very drunk.

As soon as the wine was strong, she began to recall bitterness and sweetness.Recalling the days of studying hard in school, tears rolled in the eyes, and thinking of the beautiful and gentle General Zhen who was "in danger".

Every time she thought of General Zhen, she felt a pain in her heart.She didn't believe that General Zhen would be willing to mess with treacherous ministers, she must have been coerced.The traitor named Wei must have grasped the handle of General Zhen and forced her to submit.Otherwise, how could the upright General Zhen associate with traitors?

Yes, it must be so.

General Zhen, don't be afraid, wait for me to help you escape from the sea of ​​suffering.

With the passion together, Yao Maolin began to actively look for Zhen Wenjun in the crowd.She drank a lot of wine while passing the cup to the cup, the emerald rose peach wine had already been depleted by Liu Shilang, Yao Maolin, who seldom drank too much, still had flushed cheeks and blurred eyes.

In spring, all kinds of flowers bloom in full bloom, and various in-season and out-of-season flowers are indispensable for the osmanthus banquet.Holding the wine in his hand, Yao Maolin's mind was already unconscious, his feet seemed to be stepping on mud, and he moved forward in the flower garden with one foot deep and one foot shallow.Suddenly, a touch of lotus green flashed past his eyes, and his back was very similar to that of General Zhen.She hastily pushed the people around her, and went to the place where the figure was.

Pulling away the vines, it's like traveling in a dream.

Yao Maolin stumbled to a corridor.A few colored gauze lanterns are hung on the corridor, and a few golden carps in the small pool in the courtyard lively break through the shadows of the lights in the water, swimming endlessly.

Unlike the noisy banquet behind, there was no one in the corridor, and the plants in the courtyard overlapped silently, as if exchanging whispers that she couldn't hear, whispering about the outsider who broke in rashly.

Yao Maolin looked around but couldn't see General Zhen's figure, and when he was about to look again, he suddenly heard someone in the dark say:

"The princes and princes are still at the banquet, but you ran here alone to drink alone, how brave you are."

This reproach was soft and gentle, even with a bit of lightness for watching a show, but it fell in Yao Maolin's ears like a huge rock, smashing the drunkenness with a bang, and instantly made her dripping with cold sweat.She didn't even know who the speaker was, so she bowed dizzily, and when she was about to explain, she suddenly heard another female voice humming softly with a smile.

"The banquet is boring, so it's not as clean as here. Why, do you have the time to find it?" Actually took over the previous reprimand.

It was only then that Yao Maolin realized that there was a courtyard at the other end of the small pond, a woman was sitting on a stone bench deep in the courtyard, and another woman was walking towards her, the scolding and laughing was just a conversation between them, there was no one else What's up.

Yao Maolin breathed a sigh of relief and was about to leave, but suddenly felt that the voice that spoke first was somewhat familiar, so he forcibly focused his attention, who is it not the Zhen Wenjun she has been looking for so hard?

In the night, Zhen Wenjun is bright and dignified. The woman sitting in front of her has her back to Yao Maolin. She is wearing a lake green gold silk narrow-sleeved shirt and a plain white eight-panel cotton satin skirt, which complements Zhen Wenjun's long skirt.Although the colors and styles are different, when the two appear in the same field of vision, people can immediately notice that there is an indescribable harmony and subtlety in the details of their clothes and dark patterns, as if they were made by the same hand.

The woman in the lake green shirt combed a tall single-ring spirit snake bun, stood up and turned her face sideways, her eyes were like a deep lake, her thin lips were lightly pursed, and she was full of vigor in a deserted manner, without anger and prestige.Yao Maolin's heart tightened a little when his eyes turned to Zhen Wenjun's face from a distance.

This woman is inexplicably scary. When she stood up, she didn't fold her hands in front of her body like ordinary women, but behind her back. She was as tall and straight as a pine and as beautiful as a rainbow.He is extraordinary, not an ordinary person.

Zhen Wenjun was also taken aback by her look. Although her expression didn't change much, Zhen Wenjun still read some thoughts from the words, bowed his hands and apologized again and again, but the man didn't know what to do and didn't respond , the atmosphere was quite embarrassing for a while.

Yao Maolin felt resentful, where did this ignorant woman come from, what did General Zhen do wrong to keep apologizing?She was about to step forward to seek justice, when Zhen Wenjun's cry firmly scared her back behind the vermilion lacquer column.

"I can't find my wife anywhere. I don't think I came here to drink and enjoy the moon alone. The two foxes I hunted in the north made you a shawl. It's cool at night. You can wear it." Zhen Wenjun's arms were indeed Holding a fur coat, she was warm, lustrous and sincere, completely different from the coldness of the other party.

The coming and going was obviously a feigned hatred and a favor, but Yao Maolin was shocked when he heard it.

Isn't General Zhen's wife the traitor Wei Tingxu?Why is she here?

That's right... How could such a grand banquet as Guilan Banquet be without such an important figure as Wei Situ?

Yao Maolin's spirit of drinking has completely receded, and he looked into the distance with difficulty under the flickering light of the colored gauze lamp. Wei Tingxu replied with an imperceptible smile on his lips:

"It's hard for Madam to drink with her colleagues at the Osmanthus banquet all night, and she still thinks about my body. If others know, those generals who can speak Chinese, can control the country, and seize power are so concerned about me. The treacherous and sycophant who has ruined the country and the people, I am afraid that he will write another night of fighting with heartache. The wife is the real protagonist at the Guilan Banquet tonight. How many people outside are waiting to make friends with General Zhen. If you continue to stay, you are afraid of bad It would really be my fault if I scare away the handsome female officer."

Zhen Wenjun said calmly: "Madam is just joking. Today's Osmanthus Banquet is also because of Madam's presence, otherwise I would go back to rest early due to my old injuries. I haven't seen Madam for a long time, do you have anything else you want to say to me?"

Wei Tingxu is sharp and sharp, and Zhen Wenjun pulls a thousand catties in twos and twos.The two said a few more words in the dark, but Yao Maolin couldn't hear them clearly.General Zhen followed Wei Situ and walked towards the courtyard together.

Wei Tingxu entered the gate of the courtyard first, Zhen Wenjun closed the gate back, shutting everything out.

Yao Maolin knew that he was being rude, but his gaze was still busy catching up.

The dark night can always give people daydream.

It is said that the courtyard was Wei Situ's private courtyard built by Wei Situ in the Yijing Garden for a short rest. There is no one in Dayu who is more unscrupulous than her, who dares to build a foreign minister's courtyard in the Imperial Forbidden Garden.Emperor Da Yu must know, but there is nothing he can do about her.

Standing outside the courtyard, Yao Maolin seemed to hear something, but felt that he heard something wrong.It wasn't until a crisp, lingering, depressing, trembling panting sound clearly entered her ears that she suddenly realized that she should have stopped earlier.

In the green curtains of brocade curtains that she couldn't see, the hero she admired was in love with the most hateful traitor.

Yao Maolin's nose was sour and tears fell, and he couldn't stay any longer, the wine glass he was holding all the way fell down and spilled all over his body, leaving behind her angrily galloping figure in the dark night...

Yao Maolin couldn't believe that her General Zhen was really close to Wei Tingxu and Qin Jin in private.

If you put this matter in the sixth year of Shenchu ​​and told that 12-year-old servant "A Lai" who was still being bullied by the Xie family in Suichuan—that you will become a famous general in the future and marry into Ping Cangwei's family—she would probably unimaginable.
